I knew there were stories to be told when I set up Homecare Voices, but nothing could have prepared me for when the floodgates opened.

The state of employment in much of domiciliary care is a national disgrace. Help us shine a light if you can.

Immensely grateful for @annadixonmp.bsky.social's sage advice, and for the energy of those in our community who are the true driving force at Homecare Workers' Group.

⏳️Some homecare workers report that when they spend less time than scheduled at a care visit, their pay is reduced to reflect that...

🚩 but when they spend more time than scheduled, they are not paid the extra 🤷‍♀️

A fascinatingly one-sided use of technology.
